SENATE

GEORGIA

Rev. Raphael Warnock (D-GA-Senate)

Rev. Raphael Warnock has stepped into the former pulpit of Martin Luther King Jr. and evokes his worldview around peace and justice issues: “Dr. King talked about war and some are beating the drums of war even tonight. Pray for our nation, but as you think about the geopolitical situation, let us resist the demons of militarism that disturb our domestic situation.”

KENTUCKY

Charles Booker (D-KY-Senate)

“The world cannot afford yet another endless war. As the global community works on solutions to bring this conflict [in Ukraine] to an end, we have a responsibility as the world’s oldest democracy to lead with diplomacy and humanity. We must meet this responsibility and immediately increase our capacity to accept refugees fleeing Ukraine.”

PENNSYLVANIA

John Fetterman (D-PA-Senate)

“We live in a complex, ever-changing world that requires American leadership and diplomacy. But unfortunately throughout the course of my lifetime, we’ve followed the direction of too many saber-rattling ‘experts’ out there who have led us down the road toward costly wars of choice. And it’s those costly wars of choice that have put too many American men and women into harm’s way. We should be engaging in preventive diplomacy, and proactively working with other countries to improve relations — not just reaching out to them when things go south. We should embrace a foreign policy framework that will not bankrupt future generations and allow us to hit our own domestic priorities.”

WISCONSIN

Mandela Barnes (D-WI-Senate)

“For too long, we put our troops in harm’s way while spending trillions on an endless war that was entering a third decade of conflict. We must honor their sacrifice by safely evacuating every American and honoring our commitment to ensuring the safety of our allies on the ground and provide humanitarian assistance to those devastated by the Taliban…I will never back down from my duty to protect American lives while building a more just world and working tirelessly to secure human rights for all.”

Kevin Mullin (D-CA-15)

“When millions are homeless, living paycheck to paycheck, and without affordable healthcare, the current over inflation of the Pentagon budget during a time of peace needs to be addressed. Increasing funding for education, healthcare, infrastructure, and decreasing the bloated Pentagon budget will be a top priority for me in Congress. Diplomacy must come first. Our country must continue to engage in the world by elevating diplomacy and building multinational coalitions to address global challenges. The United States spends 13 times more on the military than on diplomacy. We need to rebuild the State Department, end forever wars, draw down our military engagement, and enable local partners.”

FLORIDA

Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D-FL-10)

“All around, military spending is too high and there are many individual programs that tax-payers fund too highly and don’t reap any benefits. It is important that the United States invests in research of universal COVID-19 cures and vaccines that can be shared with the entire world before spending more money on lethal and unnecessary weapons. How we use our money shows where our priorities are, our exuberant pentagon spending keeps us from truly taking care of our people.”

Ayanna Pressley (D-MA-07)

Ayanna Pressley knows that more Pentagon spending will not provide true security; we must invest in human needs: “In the midst of these overlapping crises of coronavirus, economic hardship and police violence, Congress must take every opportunity to advance necessary changes that protect the most vulnerable communities both at home and abroad.”

MICHIGAN

Dan Kildee (D-MI-08)

“A President’s most solemn duty is to make a decision as to whether to send young Americans into harm’s way…It is long past time for Congress to exercise its required responsibility under the constitution and debate and pass an updated authorization for the use of military force in Afghanistan and the other conflicts around the world where Americans are engaged in combat.”

Rashida Tlaib (D-MI-12)

“My residents sent me to Washington to be a fierce defender of their priorities and fight to enact policies that would make a meaningful difference in their lives. This bill does not meet that standard and is a $768-billion missed opportunity to address my residents’ priorities. I support—and have since my first day in office—the long-overdue dismantling of our country’s military-industrial complex so that we can finally put a stop to forever wars and reinvest into providing our communities with the resources they need and deserve.”

MINNESOTA

Ilhan Omar (D-MN-05)

“Now is not the time to spend billions of dollars to bolster our defense budget while millions of Americans remain housing and food insecure. I am shocked that this Congress continues to spend over $700 billion on wasteful weapons contracts and Pentagon waste, and then turns around and calls for cuts to programs that help the poor, the elderly and the sick. We should be investing in the American people, not in weapons manufacturers.”

NEVADA

Dina Titus (D-NV-01)

“I strongly believe that diplomacy must be the foundation of U.S. foreign policy. The United States has a stronger position on the world stage when we stand with our allies to confront global challenges. On urgent issues ranging from counterterrorism to nuclear proliferation, and climate change to human rights advocacy, the United States must mobilize our international partners to meet the challenges of the 21st century.”

NEW YORK

Brittany Ramos DeBarros (D-NY-11)

“The United States has handed over the keys to our foreign policy decisions to for-profit corporations for far too long. The majority of the Department of Defenses budget is focused on handing money to corporate contractors who are only concerned with their bottom line. In a scheme that can only be described as war-profiteering, the defense industry spends significant resources lobbying and donating to Congress in order to secure contracts and prolong never-ending wars while profiting off of death and destruction.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY-14)

“During a time when our country is withdrawing from foreign wars, when COVID 19 and its fallout is one of the greatest threats that we face, when record levels of unemployment, housing and healthcare crises are among us, the United States should be reducing its military spending by at least 10% and prioritize the very needs of our communities here at home.”

TENNESSEE

Odessa Kelly (D-TN-07)

“I believe that our foreign policy should be rooted in diplomacy above all else – especially after we’ve seen decades of endless wars and their failures. Cutting the defense budget and targeting things like new spending on nuclear weapons signals to the American people that their needs at home are more important than the profits of defense contractors who lobby for bottomless Pentagon budgets.”
